What To Expect
Pompeii Archaeological Park
Your day will begin with a visit in the Pompeii ruins, skipping the line into the site. Guided by an archaeologist, you’ll discover excavations and the secrets behind them that only an expert knows. During the tour, you’ll see the history of the town and how the Romans used to live. You will enter in their domus (ancient houses) and public buildings, creating an understanding of how they lived daily life.
Trecase
Finish the tour and you’ll continue your adventure in the Vesuvius National Park, where you’ll experience being close to nature, far from the city noise, surrounded by the sound of birds. Once you arrive at the ranch after a morning of walking, you’ll have time to relax and have a proper lunch made all by local products with homemade local wine! Then we will saddle up and jump on the horse to receive a little training. Once your comfortable, we will venture off into the park, taking in the sights, sounds and fresh scents of the land. The ride is suitable both for beginners and experts - we will be there to help you! You will receive a training and you'll be guided throughout this exciting excursion.

Pompeii a must see but horseback riding on Vesuvius disappointing and a long was from Vesuvius

3.00Pompeii was amazing- if you get a chance go see it. It is so much larger than you would imagine and it brings to fruition and materializes all of the history. Our guide Rafael was extremely knowledgeable. His accent was extremely thick but we got used to it. He did not use a flag or something that made it easy to follow him and sometimes would quickly move ahead. That was not bad. The reason for my three stars is that the trip implied horseback riding on Vesuvius. It is instead horseback riding with Vesuvius in sight but nowhere near Vesuvius or close to the crater. We feel we really did not get to see Vesuvius at all. This should be better communicated. The trip came with Lu ch at an outdoor winery and that was fabulous.
The Most Special Pompeii/Vesuvius Experience

5.00This experience was fantastic from start to finish. My husband and I, along with our three kids (ages 11-15) took the high speed train from Rome to Naples in the morning and were met near the train station by the wonderful Roberto, who was our driver for the day. We first drove to Pompeii, where Manuela gave us a very informative and enthusiastic tour, being sure to keep us in the shade as much as possible on a very hot day. I had previously been to Pompeii and did not do a tour, which was a huge mistake. I learned so much more having a knowledgeable guide. Roberto then drove us to the vineyard in the Vesuvius park where Roberto's very entertaining son Lorenzo introduced us to the vineyard and farm to table experience, which was AMAZING. Even our 11 year old, who obviously did not participate in the wine tasting, said the lunch was the most special she had ever had. The food was incredible with a lovely breeze and a perfect view of the volcano. The wine was some of the best I have had. After lunch, we went on a short horseback ride through another vineyard. I think I would have preferred that more on a cooler day, but it was still a very unique experience that my kids thoroughly enjoyed. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to have a particularly special Pompeii and Vesuvius experience! Everyone involved in the experience (including Sofia who handled all the arrangements beforehand!) was so helpful and kind. I would do it again!

4.00The wine tasting and horse ride portions of this tour were both 5 stars - everything was great and would recommend to anyone! The Pompeii tour was with a very knowledgeable guide, but it felt rushed and left no time at the end for a break at either the rest room or gift shop. It was very hot that day so a stop in the middle or towards the end would have been welcome.
Unforgettable and Amazing!

5.00I’ve done a lot of tours throughout my travels, and this one has by far been the best. The tour in Pompeii was fascinating and informative. Our guide was so knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Pompeii. I only wish we could have stayed and saw more! We left Pompeii and arrived at the most exquisite vineyard for lunch and it blew me away. I had no idea we were in for such a delicious meal. Our host, Lorenzo was engaging and hilarious. Amazing experience. We ended the day with a breathtaking horseback ride through the vineyard with incredible views. Our guide was lovely and so sweet. It was a perfect day overall and I’d recommend this experience to anyone and everyone
